Guy on NVR #1 wants to see NVR #2 & #3s cameras on NVR #1. Can't go on the internet. the buildings already have ubnt nano stations between them just for our stuff. What's the best way to put the other two NVRs cameras on NVR #1?

Thank you.
 
Use SmartPSS Lite and connect to any NVR you can access?

I'm watching cameras from 4 different NVRs in diff locations

He wants to see it on the actual NVRs screen. We've got a big monitor for him to watch it from the NVR

Ps sorry I may have replied to your comment twice or clicked it twice

So when you say you have a NanoStation between your area, is that just something they use occasionally when they want to connect, or is it their full-time connection? If they’re on the same IP range and using the same gateway and there's no VLAN blocking access to your NVRs then they could just add your NVR’s cameras directly by using their IP addresses. When adding the device, it will show how many channels it has, and if they wanted to, for example, add channel 2, 5, and 8 from one NVR, and channel 4, 8, and 12 from another, they would simply load that NVR’s IP and choose the corresponding channel number for each camera they want to add.

But if they’re on a different IP range and still have full access to the network the other NVRs are on, they could pull the video using an RTSP stream. That even works over the internet if the RTSP stream is open. Since you're using Dahua, it might take some extra steps, but some models can use the Zero Channel over RTSP to display the entire system as one feed. The catch with that is it reflects what’s being displayed on the main view so if the display is in a 16-channel grid, that’s what they’ll see; if it’s in a single or 4-channel view, that’s what will stream too.

Thank you. I will give that a shot, yeah the nano stations are just specifically for the camera system and are in the correct range. Im going to try that and also will change the actual switch IP on the other NVRs to avoid IP conflict.
